The kitchen is the heart of our home, it is the centre of the ebb and flow of daily life.⁠ ⁠ Always slightly messy, often very messy - a place for doing, stirring, tasting, creating.⁠ ⁠ I took this photo yesterday for the next issue of A Seasonal Way. It is for an article on the way I cook and eat and my addiction to cookery books. ⁠ ⁠ The light was beautiful - the first day for a month that the sun has topped the hill across the road. ⁠ ⁠ I snapped the shutter on this post breakfast space, charging leads out, scruffy, battered books, underused pasta maker, wilting plants . . . and it made me happy. #momentslikethese #the_gentle_manifesto #daysofsmallthings #cornersofmyhome #heartofthehome #aseasonalway #daysofsimpleandslow #ournaturedays #aquietmoment #pocketsofslow #thesweetlifeunscripted #folkandstory
Tucked into the sunny side of the orchard hedge - marking the first planting we did when we moved here - a sunny patch of snowdrops, brought in the green from Finlaystone park.⁠ ⁠ Heralds of the ending of winter and the looking forward into Spring. ⁠ For even if we have a good few weeks of cold and dark to go, these are messengers from lighter days, antifreeze flowing in their cells, pure optimism. #howihueit #simpleandstill #capturequiet #beautyyouseek #calm_collected #aseasonalway #aseasonalshift #cornersofmyworld #slowlived #slowandsimpledays #quietchaotics #ihaveathingwithwindows #ofsimplethings #beautyinsimplicity #floralstories #allthingsbotanical #underthefloralspell #slowfloralstyle #petalsandprops #nestandflourish #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #ihavethisthingwithflowers #moodforfloral #cornersofmyhome #aseasonalway #slowlivingforlife #aflowerfilledlife These are from last year, but this week last year, as my head was still wonky yesterday.
An example of how you don’t need to be able to see where you are going for it to be a beautiful route. I lost the weekend to a migraine so these are from a couple a weeks ago - a beautiful walk without views. #momentslikethese #the_gentle_manifesto #daysofsmallthings #natureandnourish #aseasonalway #daysofsimpleandslow #ournaturedays #aquietmoment #pocketsofslow #thesweetlifeunscripted #folkandstory #westhighlandway #scotland
This week I have been taking ten minutes a day to create. ⁠ ⁠ To create something that isn't 'for' anything - just a chance to play.⁠ ⁠ It is part of the seasonal collage workshop that the inspirational Jenny @wrenrobertsart put together as the winter course for the Studio Club and I am loving joining in.⁠ ⁠ There is something so freeing (and addictive) about it - and it is also a great excuse to get my almond scented tin of glue out. #simpleandstill #gatherandcurate #gatheredstyle #floraandfauna #nestandflourish #calm_collected #petalandprops #createsomethingeveryday #cornersofmyworld #aseasonalway #whathomemeans #cornersofmyhome #myhappyviews #myhomevibe #inspiredbynature #natureandnourish #slowdownwithstills #embracingtheseasons #ofsimplethings #foreverfaffing #collectandstyle #whimsicalwonderfulwild #tinytinymoments #aseasonalyear #mystoryoflight #wintercollage
Low morning light shining through the bottles on the studio windowsill.⁠ ⁠ The building looming halfway up the slope is the shower block for the airstream conversion. We are still waiting for a plumber to arrive to connect it up. Once that is done, the reclaimed corrugated iron cladding can go on and the weirdly synthetic green will disappear. #simpleandstill #gatherandcurate #lovelydeadcrap #gatheredstyle #flowersinbottles #nestandflourish #calm_collected #petalandprops #artiststudio #cornersofmyworld #aseasonalway #whathomemeans #whereiwork #myhappyviews #myhomevibe #inspiredbynature #natureandnourish #slowdownwithstills #embracingtheseasons #ofsimplethings #foreverfaffing #collectandstyle #whimsicalwonderfulwild #tinytinymoments #aseasonalyear #mystoryoflight #scotland
It snowed last week - only for a day - but it transformed the ragged vegetable garden into something beautiful - a muffled glow.⁠ Even the ravaged sprouts - pecked to shreds by the escaped hens last month - managed to look majestic #growyourownfood #theartofslowliving #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #natureandnourish #embracingaslowerlife #aseasonalway #seekthesimplicity #scotlandsgardens #growyourownflowers #cornersofmyworld #greenthumb #cornersofmyworld #simpleandstill .
Bringing the natural world inside when it’s a bit dark and gloomy outside It doesn’t take much to change the mood of a space.

We have an extrovert in the family Teasel has been living his absolute best life this week - new people to bounce at, new dogs to sniff, new places to explore. ⁠ ⁠ Walks and smells and even an unexpected swim.⁠ ⁠ Then snuggles by a stove and sneaky treats to end each day.⁠ ⁠ 📷 @katieannglen Puppy wrangler @zoeelglen #yorkshireterrier #yorkielove #yorkiepuppy
